Y'all, I think I've figured it out. Operating on the assumption that the finale is indeed an alternate timeline from the manga, then someone could have written on a page of the Book to rewrite reality to lead to the events of the finale sometime during season 5's events. In other words, this would explain the INCONSISTENCIES with things that were established or at least heavily implied/assumed prior and in the manga: Chuuya being a real vampire and not in control, nothing being planned, Dazai giving sincere speeches, Dazai really being shot and saying his "last words", Fyodor's hand not being injured, soukoku not killing Fyodor while in Meursault because they literally couldn't and Dazai needing Sigma to discover Fyodor's secrets because of that, Fukuchi's goal not being one that relied on Fukuzawa being alive since he clearly intended to kill him, etc etc too many more to count
Events and explanations in the finale feeling so contradictory and out of place, and characters feeling so ooc and not acknowledging any discrepancies, makes perfect sense if you consider that, up until a certain point, this was our canon timeline — until someone rewrote the ending of the arc with the Book, starting with Fyodor injuring his hand...! We only have one example of the Book being used to majorly rewrite reality in the manga, and when that happened, the main players — the ADA members — were aware that reality was changed, even though they did have memories of the new rewritten reality. BUT, Nikolai was unaware of this during that scene, and so also were all law enforcement because of the clause written on the page accounting for that, so what if the same thing could happen in this instance, to prevent all our characters in the finale from being aware that things had changed? We literally saw someone writing Nikolai's dialogue for him; imagine someone doing that during Dazai's final speech in the episode, and during all the rest of it! I don't know who this would be, but possibly a mysterious third party who got a hold of a different page from the Book somewhere and wrote things to turn out this way, because they wanted the ADA to win against Fukuchi and Fyodor? Maybe even because... this is the only way they can win?
Remember Atsushi asserting this plan, and how silly and too simple it sounded? What if someone else ended up doing just that, writing their own simple outcome for the ADA to win (as a narrative of course, which is probably why it had to start with the major catalyst of, again, Fyodor injuring his hand)? Additionally, if that's what happened, maybe the ending of the finale is a sort of side effect to the Book being used improperly in this way, leading to a destabilization of the timeline or a mishmash of other timelines into the anime one, leading to the alternate Fukuchi and Akutagawa we see there?

[Image ID: A collection of digital drawings of Flora Reinhold and Luke Triton. On the left is a large, fully colored, full-body portrait of Luke and Flora wearing detailed and fancy outfits and admiring them in the mirror. Flora, who is drawn black in every drawing, is standing straight up, facing the viewer, and is in awe at her outfit. She has her hair in a set of parted twists, with her signature curl in front of her forehead, with a large red bow at the back. She's wearing a short-sleeved white button down shirt with a red and green striped tie with a brown icon of an apple at the end, as well as a long, poofy, burgundy skirt with thin gold double stripes at the hem and gold leaves embroidered across the skirt, with multiple white frilled petticoats beneath. She's wearing calf-high pink and green argyle socks and white platform shoes with brown soles and accents. Luke is beside her, also facing the viewer, is wearing a blue beret with a dark blue paw print on it, a long light blue overcoat with a dark blue bird embroidered on the right lapel, a white button down, a red bowtie with thin gold stripes, white tights, and white and brown saddle shoes. The top right drawing is a digital painting made with a chalk-like textured brush of Flora, in yellow shorts and a red bowtie with her hair half up and half down, and Luke, in his usual outfit, on a large grassy hill. Flora is leaning back against the wind and flying an orange kite with a rainbow tail. Luke is semi-obscured by the hill, smiling and holding onto his hat with one hand and waving with the other. There is a large white cloud behind them. Below this painting is a simple drawing of Luke and Flora, drawn monotone in blue and orange, respectively, lying down on a rug and staring at a puzzle. Luke is defeated and Flora is deep in thought. A caption, pointing to the puzzle, says that the puzzle is worth 70 picarats. Finally, there is a small drawing of Luke and Flora, in their regular outfits, pointing to the screen together in the same form as the "Correct" screen one gets when solving a puzzle in the Professor Layton games. There is a gold shine around their joined pointing hands. /.End ID.]
